re: Refinishing (painting or powder coating) calipers

I had mine painted since pdcoating was going to be a lot more involved. Due to having to heat it you must break them down and remove the seals. If I could redo it I would probably have pdcoated them though. The first time I had them painted with a g2 brush kit, looked like shit. Had it redone with same kit but used a gun and it came out real nice. Sometimes I think I should have left it alone since the silver looks clean from the factory. Yours looks good with those wheels. If I had to pick a color I would do a deep blood red to match the taillights.

Lolly, man I like those concave wheels!

funny I called my powder coater this morning since I want to get my Durango's calipers coated. He said "No Go" on baking calipers, 600 plus degrees and seals are a bad combo. and doesn't recommend re-building them just to PC. He just recommended the ceramic rattle can method. many colors to choice from and better then brushing.

That's what I was saying, it is possible but its fairly involved. The G2 kits are about 100 dollars and can be shot with a disposable gun that they sell. came out smooth and doesn't look bad. If you get right up on it you can see where its not a factory paint job but standing next to the car it looks fine...
